------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Feb 25 13:55:06 +0000 2007 ------- Automatic word completion is noted by many journalists as a key benefit and difference of OO Writer from MS Word. I particularly use it to reduce strain on my hands. Currently it only supports single words, I believe. However, individuals often use specific phrases that they like or that are needed by a client i.e. to remain integrated with other documents. So a number of multi-word phrases are likely to appear many times in a large document (especially technical docs). I would like to propose that this function be extended to include phrases as well. For example if it remembered "from client to server" then when I type "client t" it will see a potential multiword phrase, and suggest "client to server" as a completion. To keep things sane I believe this would require the document to be indexed in real time and a running count of frequency of phrase usage for the current session be maintained. A simple heuristic would note phrases that appear often and add them to the word completion file (perhaps this is autocorr). The suggestions would become even more useful if for example there are two commonly used long phrases that are similar up to a certain point, and the wor d completion function could suggest a choice between them in a way similar to Visual Studio style function suggestions, but this is really icing on the cake. Since the autocomplete function is so evidently useful, and is I think a major point for it over competitors, I believe it should be improved. Therefore I have submitted this recommendation, and also have at the same time submitted a recommendation for the ability to save the autocor file on a remote ftp server account and import it on a per-session basis into other OOo installations. Thank you for your consideration and enthusiasm! Hooray OOo Team! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
